Since he burst on the world with his heavy-metal memoir Fargo Rock
City in 2001, Chuck Klosterman has been one of the most successful
novelists and essayists in America. His collections of essays Sex,
Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs and Chuck Klosterman IV: A Decade of Curious
People and Dangerous Ideas have established Klosterman not only as
a credible spokesman for intelligent purveyors of popular culture.
His writings and regular columns (in Spin, Esquire, The New York
Times Magazine and other venues) about music, sports, and modern
culture have sometimes become themselves touchstones in popular
culture. The success of his card-based game Hypertheticals: 50
Questions for Insane Conversations has demonstrated that Klosterman
can connect with his fans and readers even off the printed page. As
he writes in his contribution to this book, Klosterman "enjoys
writing about big, unwieldy ideas" as they circulate in culture, in
people, in music, and in sports. The twenty-two other philosophers
writing alongside Klosterman couldn't agree more. They offer their
own take on the concepts and puzzles that fascinate him and take up
many of Chuck's various challenges to answer brain-twisting
"hypertheticals" or classic ethical quandaries that would arise if,
say, Aristotle wandered backstage at a Kiss concert.
